OMG! Is that were I ripped that off from? I find that I do that from time to time... something is lodged in my brain and I don't even mean to rip it off.
Now that I reflect on it, I think you are right...
It's very similar... this is actual an update of a very old character I made up a long time ago. I used to draw him with no eyes at all. So, unintenitional ripoff or not... you decide!
I've got the Rock Hudson Martian Chronicles and I was going to point that out but I thought "pull my finger" was funnier. It looks like the mask that Bernie Casey wears when he's blasting away at Darren MacGavin and Rock Hudson with a similar in style delta wing space gun. The Martian that kills his wife at the first of the series has on the same mask. I guess the mask could have a lineage of madness. This is the sort of cultural deal that is inescapable for all us guys that cough of art on demand. We are what we eat. I am incapable of doing anything original. All I can do is throw up something with an obvious influence.
Pull my finger
ReplyDelete*pulls Ellis' finger*
ReplyDeleteDamn! I fall for that EVERY time!
Seriously, cool Rick! It kinda reminds me of the lead Martian in the TV Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles from the early 80s. Remember??

ReplyDeleteoh, I know... ripped off is my phrase, not yours. I'm pretty sure is was in my sci-fi brain files. It truely is a struggle to be original!
